The Truth Behind The Family’s Lost Episodes
Some Bringing Up Bates fans often watch the family’s reality show on the streaming website Tubi. Many were thankful that they could still recall some of the most popular episodes of the family. However, a Reddit thread noticed that some episodes have been missing from the website, resulting in speculations that those missing episodes were somehow controversial.

Another commenter also revealed that Josie’s wedding episodes have been missing for a long time. But some pointed out that it was most likely due to music licensing rights, which is the same explanation Amazon Prime has for the family.
- “It most likely has to do with music liscencing rights. There were probably snippets of songs used in those episodes that tubi didn’t feel like editing out. At least, that’s usually the reason behind missing episodes.”
- “It’s the same on Amazon prime, it says expired rights or something.”
- “Up Faith and Family has more episodes but some are still missing. Josie’s wedding is on that one.”
- “Josie’s wedding is an episode that’s been missing for a long time! Want to see that again lol.”
